There was a festival in the park where Scott could sample beers, and fun things for Ava to do as well. Although it was crazy crowded, it was a lot of fun!

Daddy and Ava

Daddy would push the wall of the bounce house causing Ava to fall over backwards. She loved it!

I think she’s practicing her ballet moves in this video.

Last Saturday, I had the privilege of flying with Scott on his first cross country flight in a fixed wing. He flew from Boise to Sun Valley, Sun Valley to Burley, and then back to Boise.

Here’s Scott getting the plane ready for flight

Me with my lovely headset on!

Scott piloting the plane

We took off at 6:30am – here’s the sun rising

Scott flew the entire route by pilotage (finding landmarks or towns to make sure he is heading the right direction), no gps! Tough thing to do when so much of Idaho is desolate. Much of his time was spent head down making sure we were on course. The guy on the right is Scott’s instructor, Ryan.

Here are a few shots of my view from Boise to Sun Valley.

Nothing spectacular to look at from Sun Valley to Burley or Burley to Boise.

The flight was so much fun. I am seriously addicted to flying.. I want to go again and again! I can’t wait until Scott is finished with training and we can take Ava. I think she will LOVE it!

We had an awesome Father’s Day weekend this year. On Saturday we had a BBQ at Crystals:

Grandpa Greg

Max – he’s so handsome!

On Sunday we took a train ride from Horseshoe Bend to Banks:

Ava being silly and closing her eyes for every picture!

Enjoying some cheesy nachos.

Ava is still talking about the train ride.. even to random people at the grocery store!
